We Are The One
''We Are the One'' is the first EP by the Avengers. It was released on Dangerhouse Records in 1977. It is sometimes known as the Dangerhouse EP, referring to the label that released it. It was recorded in October 1977 at Kitchen Sink Studio. The release had two different covers, with the first pressing having the "crucifixion" cover, while later pressings had the "target" cover. All of its songs are on the 1983 album ''Avengers''. The single was re-released on Frontier Records. The single was also included on ''Dangerhouse Volume One''. The EP marked the first time that a West Coast punk band had issued music on an independent label. Critical reception ''The Rough Guide to Rock'' called the songs "defiant anthems of self-realization." Robert Christgau considered "We Are the One" to be the "finest U.S. indie single of 1977." ''Trouser Press'' wrote that "the Avengers’ original EP was a minor classic of its time, indicating that they might have become America’s best straight-a ...

They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles with stripped-down instrumentation.
